Credit union giving away 'hidden cash' at El Paso landmarks

Cash is being hidden all around El Paso and the only way to find it is by solving evolve Federal Credit Union riddles on Twitter.

The money was stashed in envelopes by evolve employees on Wednesday as way to give back to the community. The hidden cash game will continue until Friday.

Elizabeth Ashby, social communications specialist at evolve Federal Credit Union, said the credit union's Twitter account, @evolveFCU, will give clues as to where the cash has been hidden throughout the day.

"Basically we are going to go around El Paso landmarks and give cryptic messages to where it is at," Ashby said. "All we ask is the winner take a selfie with the envelope and post it on Twitter with the #HiddenCashEP."

Envelopes contain anywhere from $20 to $100 each.

A woman, who identified herself as Vanessa Guerrero on Twitter, found the first envelope at the Chico's Tacos on Alameda on Wednesday morning. The clue was "You could buy a single with this cash and have plenty to spare! Walk it off at the park after. #hiddencashep."

The second winner on Wednesday was at Rosa's Cantina after solving the clue, "At our next location, 'music would play and Felina would whirl.' Good luck! #hiddencashep."

Ashby said evolve Federal Credit Union was motivated by the anonymous Twitter account @HiddenCash, which has stashed money in major cities. But evolve wanted to do something for El Paso.

"We are doing this as a way to give back to the community," Ashby said.
